Focus on the Family Will Keep your Kid from Being Gay

It's not "tough to swallow" that the average American is a bigot and an idiot. I see evidence of that every day at work. Well, the idiot part anyway. It's just unfortunate.

Yep. Your view is not held by the majority, and is extremist.

If you believed being black was "just one sin" you would also be an extremist radical. "Just one sin" does not make you any less radical.

Your (or Jesus) "forgiveness" of them is irrelevant. They don't need forgiving because it's not evil. Only a biblical inerrantist would believe that passage to be the Word of God. I certainly don't, and I'm not alone.

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you."Leviticus 18:22-24

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."Leviticus 20:13

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."Romans 1:26-27

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God."1 Corinthians 6:9

You can use the same "forgiveness" to excuse murder and rape. They are "just two sins," after all. The fact that you put homosexuality on the same level as crimes like these (sins) makes you radical.

"Realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching."1 Timothy 1:9-10

Your post, again, seems to consistently ignore the fact that we're not just talking about bathing, we're talking about the display of genitals to a child.

According to your logic, apparently, the guy in the park in the trenchcoat isn't a flasher; he's an educational resource for children.

Well, I really get the feeling much of the time that you believe that your opinions and tastes are superior to everyone else's.

9: Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10: For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Wow, I agree with Holmes on something.

So when you disagree with the majority, you are not an extremist, but they are idiots

but when Dobson disagrees with the majority he is an extremist, even a "radical cleric"?LOL

And you see no contradiction here in your principles or the way you describe people?

Looking closely, I can't find homosexuality mentioned.

There is justification for social sanctions against murders, kidnappers, liars, theives. But there can be no justification for social sanctions against homosexuals.

If homosexuality is a sin, and many Christians don't think it is, then it is something GOD will judge. That does not give anyone the right or mandate to insert social sanctions against homosexuals.

In addition, the very basic commandments of Christianity, "Love others as you love yourself" require that Christians should be opposing discriminatory practices such as the Defense of Marriage Act.

Prove it. You can't. I've already shown you the numbers that prove otherwise.

Incorrect. Homosexual sex is a choice.

Ahhh so you selectively read scripture! Let's see what scriptures you have to ignore to believe that.

Let's see what God has to say about it.

I'm not putting homosexuality on the level of "crime" as murder. It is all sin. The bible says that sin is sin. There are different consequences for different sins.

Gensis 9:24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

Uhhuh, except all the other scriptures you are ignoring.

That's not what is happening. Homosexuals don't have the right or mandate to insert their social agenda against the rest of society.

You showed numbers regarding gay marriage, which has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. The majority of people do not consider homosexuality to be "an abomination."

You didn't read my previous posts. Experimentation with flies has shown that certain gene will turn otherwise normal flies into homosexuals. Switch the gene, and bam! they act like they are the opposite gender, and attempt to mate with other flies of their own sex.Homosexuality is at least partially genetic.

. I'm saying Paul was often a hypocrite when it served his purpose and that many of his writings are also being misunderstood.

If homosexuals are granted the rights and resposibilities of marriage, how does that modify a heterosexual marriage?

Making it legally possible for same-sex couples to get "married" in America will forever alter the meaning of marriage for everybody. It is a much more profound change than modifying the wording in a few laws. Marriage is more fundamental to the human experience than the laws regulating it because it was around long before there were laws; marriage statutes merely recognize and regulate an institution that has always existed.Redesigning those laws to reinvent that institution - the foundational unit of society - is a genuinely groundbreaking concept. No civilization in the history of mankind has ever done it. Never in human history has there been a society, advanced or primitive, in which same-sex marriage was embraced as an ordinary family form and a normal part of everyday life. Certainly, a few societies have experimented with such unions, but they were anomalies even at the time.Every major world religion - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism - have for millennia defined marriage as the union of man and woman. Why is it reasonable to believe that a small, vocal minority pushing a totally self-serving agenda, have suddenly discovered some profound truth that the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind somehow missed?There is one plain truth that has gotten mangled almost beyond recognition in the cat fight over same-sex marriage. It is simple and clear. Man cannot redefine marriage because he didn't define it in the first place; man can't change the nature of the marriage unit because he didn't invent it. God did.
